Falling for You

My boots have edged their way out of the closet, pumpkin spice beverages have returned to Starbucks, and I can almost smell the autumn chill in the air.

You know what that means.

Fall fashion has returned!

     I know they seem a little impractical (and maybe a tad sweaty), but I really want a pair of real leather skinny pants. Not leather look leggings, not coated or waxed cotton twill jeans. I want real leather that will last forever in a classic skinny jean style. Unfortunately, real leather pants (skinny or otherwise) tend to be way, way upwards of $200, and I don't even really want to spend that much.

     However, I did find one pair that seems (somewhat) reasonably priced: the Lucky Brand Charlie Skinny, which were originally $699 but are now on sale for $179.98 (marked down again since there's an additional 40% off for the next two days). The only caveat? This pair is red, instead of the preferred classic black. However, for such a great markdown, I may just consider them...


...Then again, what with sales tax and all the total will be about $200. What do you guys think? Do you like leather skinny pants, or do you think I've just succumbed to a bad bout of fall fashion fever?

Christmas! ♥

I found these as I was searching through the blog folder the other day. The Christmas tree kind of dates this, so I'll confess: this was the outfit I wore on Christmas at the family celebration. We went to our Grandma's house and ate, talked, hung out, and had a genuinely merry time with all the cousins. Super late posting, I know, but enjoy anyway ;)

My lovely Free People Velvet Skinnies have since ripped (one leg, horizontally--like shorts) which makes me very put out. >:( I'll have to lug out the sewing machine when I have time. Which, considering all the homework I still have (second semester seniors with no work? That's a myth at my school) will be never. Also, I need black thread. Things to do. Sigh.
